A Wyoming company on Tuesday bristled at claims that it is a front for the company selling digital trading cards featuring former President Donald Trump as various icons and heroes. Â
American journalist and New York Times best-selling author Kurt Eichenwald on Thursday penned a report saying that NFT International LLC is peddling Trump trading cards. Â
NFT International LLC is a company registered to a string of Cheyenne-based LLCs, ultimately registered to a corporation, Wyoming Corporate Services Inc., which is also in Cheyenne. Â
But the Trump-card purveyor is NFT INT LLC. Â
It’s a crucial distinction for Wyoming Corporate Services, which told Cowboy State Daily on Tuesday that Eichenwald’s report is not accurate. Â
“Someone has made a very serious error from what we have found so far,” Therese Hoard, vice-president for Wyoming Corporate Services, told Cowboy State Daily on Tuesday. Â
Hoard said NFT International is owned by Wyoming Corporate Services, but she said it has never transacted any business. Â
“It has not done anything,” said Hoard. “It has absolutely nothing to do with Trump or the NFT cards.”
NFTs are non-fungible tokens, or digital assets that can be resold at a profit.
Delaware Connection
NFT INT LLC, however, is registered in Delaware to another Delaware-based entity called The Corporation Trust Co. Â
Like Wyoming, Delaware allows limited liability companies to register through registered agents – allowing public anonymity for actual business operatives. Â
Whoever does own NFT INT LLC is likely pleased with the Trump cards’ success so far: the cards sold out within hours of their release, amassing nearly $4.5 million for the company.
 On Sunday they were worth about seven times their original $99 sale value, though they dipped to about $350 on Monday, according to media reports.Â
According to collecttrumpcards.com, the proceeds are not going toward Trump’s presidential campaign. Â
Trump, however, has at least gained licensing fees from the deal.
